Back home

We are back home in Virginia after an awesome week at the beach in South Carolina! Even though the weather was not all that, I had so much fun with the humans and my old friend Sasha and my new friend, Barney. But, there is no place like home!Mom has been walking me a bit more as Dad is having some problems with his knees and hips (I certainly know about THAT!). She does a longer walk, which I am really enjoying, now that the weather is cooler. We did go to the beach here this week and I got to swim!! The water was very smooth and Mom threw the old tennis ball in for me to retrieve. I just LOVE THAT!!

About our Mom

I'm a Certified Virginia Master Naturalist, vice-president of the Virginia Beach Audubon Society, member of the
Virginia Society of Ornithology, member of the Butterfly Society of
Virginia, and a member of Back Bay Restoration Foundation.
Additionally, I volunteer for the Virginia Beach SPCA, Lynnhaven
River NOW, and the City of Virginia Beach.

I am a photography enthusiast and I am indeed fortunate that many of my photos of native birds and
wildlife have appeared in state and local publications. For the last several
years, my photos of local Virginia Beach Bald Eagles have appeared in
the Garden of Eagles calendar, an international publication. My husband Joe and I live on the Signature at West Neck with our dog Frodo.
